This is an excellent film if you love character acting, where the story centers just as much around the supporting characters as the main characters in the plot.The story centers around a young girl who becomes an heiress after the death of her mother, her only close relative. She meets & falls in love with a sailor with some very dark secrets. Their love affair upsets just about everyone they know, and when they look towards marriage everyone is opposed, mainly because they think he is only after her money-$300 million.The only person in the way of her inheritance and ruining her life, her step-father, is taken out of the picture, and that's when the truth begins to come to light. Rob Lowe is the sailor that Meg Tilly falls for. This is a very underrated film, and all the performances are excellent.The ending is sad, so don't say I didn't warn you. You might even need a box of tissues handy. Get ready for an interesting and thought-provoking film.I searched for this film for years before I found it in a video store, so you might have to do the same. Believe me, when I found it, it was well worth the wait.
